Everyone is familiar with the Fruit of the Loom underwear company and logo. The only reason I know what the word "cornucopia" means is because the thing behind the fruit was explained to me as a child. This tag was in all my underwear and T-Shirts. Now everyone is claiming the logo never existed and there was never a cornucopia in the picture. I refuse to believe this, someone changed the universe when I wasn't looking.

I don't know. I have the same memory as you, except I learned it as the "horn of plenty." There's a term for that, something we all know but isn't so, but I can't remember it. Anyway, see: official company website www.fruit.com/fruit-storyand LOGOPEDIA info: logos.fandom.com/wiki/Fruit_of_the_Loom (says Cornucopia logo was variant used 4/2022).

LOL The logos wiki only has that icon listed for April Fool'S Day.
I'm sure the "cornucopia" or "horn of plenty" was part of the logo, and lots of other people say the same thing. But all record of it have been erased from existence and the company claims it was never there. We are living in the Matrix.
